An Indianapolis preacher who has no use for the saloons, in his sermo.i Sunday, said he thought the government should pay all saloonkeepers for the property rendered valueless by popular vote. He don't believe it is right to take property from a man and give him nothing in return. The same preacher believes that many men engaged in the saloon business or employed as bartenders will find other avocations and be successful and happy when accustomed to their new surroundings. As a rule saloonkeepers and bartenders are goodhearted, jovial men and know how to get along with the public, this preacher says, and he thinks the present crusade will make a wonderful change upon the people so far as the liquor business is concerned. — Columbia City Post.

IS SERIOUSLY SICK John E. Teeple, a Pioneer of County, Suffers a Stroke of Paralysis EARLY THIS MORNING His Children, Mrs. Gay and J. W. Teeple of this Place Were Summoned Relatives here were summoned this morning to the bedside of Mr. John E. Teeple, a resident of St. Marys township, and a pioneer of this county, who early this morning suffered a stroke of paralysis. He is seventyeight years old and his condition is reported very serious, with hopes for recovery very slight. He has not been in very good health for some time, and this afflicteion, to one of his age, renders hopes for recovery very improbable. Mr. Teeple is one of the oldest residents of the county, and is well known especially east of the city. He is the father of Judson W. Teeple and Mrs. James Gay of this city, also of Mrs. J. E. Stoops, Mrs. J. L. Moser, William H. Teeple and Benjamin Teeple. He lives about two miles east of town. While his many acquaintances hope for better news, they are not in the least hopeful. J. W. Teeple arrived in town this afternoon and reports the condition of his father very serious indeed. He says that early this morning his father arose and suffered a slight stroke of paralysis, falling to the floor. The fall broke his right hip, making his recovery almost impossible at his age.

WANT UNIFORMS — The Decatur Juvenile Band Will Give a Home Talent Production AT THE BOSSE “The Village by the Sea’’ to Be Presented on Monday May 17th The Juvenile band boys of Decatur are trying to secure enough money to purchase new uniforms. They are all right and deserve your assistance. A town without a good band is like a home without a piano or organ, and these lads are making every effort to give us such a musical organization. To raise this money they have begun arrangements for a home talent show to be given at the Bosse opera house on the evening of Monday, May 17th, when they will present a splendid new comedy entitled “In the Village by the Sea.” The rehearsals have begun and the show will be a winner in every way. Among those who will take part are the Misses Clara Terveer, Ada Murray, Minnie Orvis, Messrs. Albert Sellemeyer, Howard Wisehaupt and others who have had more or less experience in local theatricals. The boys are deserving of your assistance and you iwill do a good turn if you buy a ticket when approached as you will be in a few days, as they are hustlers, and are determined to fill the house. o ■ NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETING.

; PETITIONS ARE FILED (Continued from page 1.) I of preparing the new boilers was referred to the waterworks committee with power to act as they deem advisable. John R. Porter, who lives on Mercer avenue south of High street, asked for a continuation of the water , mains to give them fire protection, ’ and asked that this be done before a pavement be built. This was referred to the street committee, who will ) report the costs at the next meeting. It was then reported that new gongs are necessary at the city plant, as there is so much noise there that it is impossible to hear the alarm. In discussing the matter it developed that a fire occurred at the Niblick warer house last Saturday afternoon, and it J was impossible to give the alarm, as 1 they could get no response from the k station. Street Commissioner Stults i asked for six shovels and one spade, I and there is going to be some street j work done, his requisition being ali. lowed. The Indiana Lighting comi pany gave notice that they accepted r the ordinance as recently passed, givs ing them a franchise. A resolution to , refund $4.85 to John Harmon on his r city liquor license was adopted. His 8 place of business closed yesterday. 1 C. D.

I The citizens of Adams county have 11 been very prompt about paying this I year, and the treasurer is thankful that the rush is over. L o A POPULAR VERDICT. Based on Evidence of Decatur People Grateful thousands tell it— How weak backs were made strong I Weak kidneys made well— I Urinary disorders corrected. I Decatur people add their testimony. [ They gladly praise Doan’s Kidney Pills.

For Quick relief and lasting curM , Decatur evidence is now complete. Decatur testimony is confirmed; Reports of early relief substantiated. Cures doubly proved by test of time. Let a Decatur citizen speak. Mrs. Catherine Con tor, 227 N. First street, Decatur, Ind., says: “I suffered for quite awhile from pains in my kidneys and nothing I tried relieved me. The kidneys did not do their work as they should and diabetes finally resulted. Several years ago I was advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills and I did so, procuring them at the Holthouse Drug Co. They relieved me at once and I endorsed them publicly in 1902 and again in 1906. At this time I heartily confirm my former statements, as I have found that Doan's Kidney Pills ii ve up to the claims made for them.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan's— and take no other. <> ft you have backache and urinarv trouble syon should take Foley’s Kidney Remedy to strengthen and build up the kidneys so they will act properly as a serious kidney trouble may develop. 1 The HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.
